Feet of Flames

Spectacular dance and song extravaganza! Mr. Flatley and his cast provide a stunning show complete with Druid High Priests and the inevitable battle between light and dark. This flows by so quickly and is assembled so perfectly. The balance between high-kicking dance numbers and beautiful songs is striking. The costuming and lighting is like nothing I've ever seen in a "dance" type setting.

A bigger show staged at Hyde Park , London and I was lucky to be in front row again and it was just an awesome show with Michael proving that he is the best . The solo at the end no one expected but it was just breathtaking. A must for Michael Flatley fans .

I watched Feet of Flames not long after watching Lord of the Dance, and I'd say at least half of Feet was a revised version of Lord - it had the Spirit, it had the Gypsy, it had the bad guys challenging Flatley for the title of Lord of the Dance. Granted, there were songs and such not found in Lord, which kept it from being a complete disappointment, but I expected more originality.

This is the best Irish Dancing show ever!! The original DVD (LOTD) was great but this one is just an improved and greater version of it! The dancing is just breathtaking! Whether it was the dancers, the dancing, the stage, the costumes, the theme (LOTD theme), it all made FOF the best dancing show ever. Another version of FOF was made (the victory tour) yet it is not 1/10 as good as this one! I believe Michael Flatley made this show to stay forever!! I especially enjoyed the fact that the original leads (Gillian, Bernadette and Daire) Danced in this show, because they are simply the best! I am Going to briefly talk about some of my favorite Dances:

1) Gypsy: Gillian truly is an amazing gypsy. She is sexy, evil and tempting yet at the same time she is very graceful and she plays the lead role with class. It is no wonder that she's the best temptress, and no other dancer had ever been able to match her beauty, grace and style. In Gypsy, she's a bird flying and you can only think that she's reaching to heaven...

2) Breakout: Bernadette looks like a doll here! This girl is so talented and she just makes you want to dance. The way she and Gillian dance here is very beautiful.

3)Stolen Kiss: Bernadette, Michael and Gillian are a great trio, and you have to love Stolen kiss when it is performed with Bernie's innocence, and Gillian's fire.

4) Saoirse (the dance of love): Simply Breathtaking!! Bernadette looks like a princess and makes you dream with her. What a great feeling!

5) Planet Ireland: Probably the best performance of Planet Ireland ever! The stage and the colors of the Irish flag are just amazing!

Finally, i want to say that I LOVE all the dances, but i cannot comment on all of them:)

Although this show had twice the performers and twice the stage as Lord of the Dance, it didn't surpass it. Why? Not only because it's more of the same, but especially because it has no grip on you. It's an outside performance and the natural lighting hinders the artificial lighting effects. Also a major problem that comes with the fact that it's outside: the sound is bad. The music is too loud for the taps and the audience. The overall performance is great, you can see they have done it a lot and improved loads of stuff, but you can also see they don't have that.. radiating glow about them anymore, as they had on the opening night of Lord of the Dance. The conclusion is: as a single show, it's great, but as a turbo-version of Lord of the Dance and especially as DVD, it's not that super... go see LOTD instead. (But if you can see an indoor version of this show live, go see it. Now. Don't hestitate, go. Go!)

overal rating: 9/10 (it still kicks every other thing's ass)
